Tuck Pointing

Keeping Drafts, Moisture & Insects Out Of You're Home

Drafts, moisture and insects will find their way into your home through the tiniest of cracks and holes. Since mortar is the softest material in your walls, that’s the usual culprit if it is not maintained in good condition.

We carefully chisel out all cracked, broken and deteriorated mortar joints to a minimum of 1/2" or until sound mortar is reached. We do this carefully so as not to damage the surrounding brick.

We brush the area clean of dust and debris and thoroughly rinse the walls prior to tuckpointing. We mix our mortar to match as closely as possible the composition of the original and we finish the joints to match the surrounding masonry.
